RowShare vs SeaTable (2026): which should you pick?

Pick RowShare if

• Fits if your team lives in Microsoft Teams and needs rows visible to some people only
• Works for groups of 5 to 49 sharing one table, with read-only viewers free

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're one person, since the plans start at 5 users and $80
• Tight if you need more than 10 tables, 5,000 rows a table or 1 GB of files, which means Pro at $120
• Not for you if you need the advanced permissions or change log on the cheapest plan
• Watch out: the pricing page was unclear on whether the monthly figures are monthly or yearly billing

Pick SeaTable if

• Fits if you want an Airtable-style database with your data hosted in the EU
• Works for teams that must self-host, with Active Directory, LDAP or SAML sign-in

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want an iPhone app, as one is planned with no release date, and the Android app only opens SeaTable Cloud
• Not for you if you want prices in dollars, because they're listed in euros and exclude VAT
• Tight if a self-hosted team will grow mid-year, since the 10 and 25 user licences can't be extended during their term
• Too light for free teams that need private views, row locking or table, view and column permissions
• Watch out: Free gets a fixed 100 automations and 12.5 AI credits a month, and SSO needs Enterprise at €14

RowShare

• Every plan includes 5 users; the rendered pricing page was unclear on whether the monthly figures shown are monthly-billed or yearly-billed (a yearly saving of 20% is advertised).
• Team plan caps are 10 tables, 5,000 rows per table and 1 GB of attachments.
• Advanced row and column permissions and the change log are marked as not included on Team.
• Runs in the browser; mobile access is mentioned, but the site lists no separate apps.

SeaTable

• Prices are listed in euros and exclude VAT; the pricing page shows no US dollar prices.
• The Free plan stops at 10,000 rows and 2 GB, and lacks private views, row locking and table, view and column permissions.
• SeaTable's help center lists an Android app, which only simplifies access to SeaTable Cloud, and says an iOS app is planned without a release date.
• Server licenses for 10 and 25 users cannot be extended during their term; needing more users means buying a new license.

RowShare

Row and column permissions

Access can be set table by table, with basic read and write rights per row on every plan and advanced create, delete and assign rights on higher plans.

Data collection controls

Formats, mandatory fields and automated quality checks can be set, and reminder emails go out automatically when a deadline is hit.

Change log and history

A change log lists recent changes with author and timestamp. Deleted rows are kept for 7, 30 or 365 days depending on the plan.

Automation and integrations

RowShare Automation moves data across tables as an option, and Zapier, Power Automate, Workato and BI tools are listed as integrations.

Microsoft Teams app

A Teams application is listed in the automation and integration section, and the site also mentions mobile access.

Onboarding and migration help

Every subscription includes a one-hour onboarding workshop, and data migration from Excel or Google Sheets is an optional service.

SeaTable

Bases, tables and 26 column types

Bases hold linked tables with 26 column types, plus filtering, sorting, grouping and row color highlighting. Private views and the sharing of single views need a paid plan.

Gallery, kanban, timeline and calendar

Besides the table editor, the same data can be shown as an image gallery, a kanban board with drag and drop, a timeline or a calendar.

App Builder

A drag-and-drop builder for data-driven apps such as a CRM or a project tracker, included on every plan. Public apps can be used without a user account; page permissions need Enterprise.

Automations and scripts

Automations run a process at a set time or status, and notifications fire on defined triggers. JavaScript runs are unlimited, while Python runs, automations and AI credits have monthly quotas.

Web forms and external links

Web forms collect entries from people without an account, and external links open a base to people who have no login. Adding a logo and header image to a form needs Enterprise.

Self-hosting with SeaTable Server

The server edition installs on a Linux server or virtual machine and supports SAML, OAuth, Shibboleth, Active Directory and LDAP sign-in, custom roles and self-set API limits.
